Description: Tacita Dean was born in Canterbury, England and lives in Berlin, Germany. She has won the Kurt Schwitters Prize (2009) among many other awards and has recent exhibitions at documenta (13), Kassel, the New Museum, New York, Turbine Hall Tate Modern, London, MUMOK, Vienna and the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia. She has worked in a variety of media, including her large scale chalk on blackboard drawings, from which the Fatigues series is drawn. The large scale chalk on blackboard drawings of Fatigues were created over the course of a few weeks on-site in a former Kassel tax office. The building played an important role for the series, as Dean used its two stories to create and bolster a narrative structure for her drawings.
